My parents bought me a brand new S38EB in 1957 or 1958. My neighbor
had an S38E, and I got an "all A" report card and my parents surprised
me with that reward. It began my radio career. I'm pretty sure the
price was $38.
I used a long wire antenna and enjoyed hours of listening. I'm sad to
say, I think my non-working S38EB went into the dumpster about five or
ten years ago. Shame on me.
Last month, a friend GAVE ME an S38A, nicely restored, and it really
brings back memories. Even though I've got a brand new R8B, a few
great ham transceivers (TS-2000, TS-440, FT-817), the S38A has awakened
my lust for working tube radios.
I think your S38EB, if working, is worth about $50 to $75.
